Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Here's the original post by 3lau:

And apparently he didn't even get paid and covered his own travel costs:

Never heard of 3lau. Seems like a tool and is music sucks. But Deadmau5 is a massive cunt in his own right and the less I hear about him the better.

The era of wasting tax payer dollars is over? I honestly don't understand how someone is this dumb.

Yeah, those balls are paid for by donating by sympathetic billionaires. It's the perfect opportunity to demand ridiculous fees because you know they have the money. (If you were inclined to DJ at a Nazi event).

Judging by his own reply he's actually a Magat, not just a dumby who wanted to do something big.

I'm more interested in whatever drama there is between subtronics and deadmau5 tbh

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

What the other commenters said, but if there was drama it'd probably be due to the fact that deadmau5 used to be one of the biggest assholes in EDM. He might be nicer now, but back in the day I'd never heard of someone having a pleasant interaction with him.

I thought it was that too but I think he means unblock 3lau.

I think they meant they had to unblock 3lau to see deadmau5 comment

I’ve never heard of 3lau, but fuck that guy. What a bootlicker.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 weeks ago

No one heard and no one would.

Holy shit that's bad. Can't even try to claim the excuse of "a job is a job" and claiming there's no politics to it.

The era of being paid for work is over!!

[–] [email protected] 132 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

He ends that last reply with "no more spending taxpayer dollars, that era is over!" which is a pretty good indication that there very much is politics to it (so I agree with you, but also he isn't even trying to hide it, so I don't see him trying to defend himself by pretending he doesn't support their politics)

but the exposure!

I’m sure all those right wing zealots will be lining up to give him lucrative gigs after this. After all, they’re known for their love of edm and the culture surrounding it. They certainly don’t despise everyone in attendance at the average gig (aside from the hot girls on molly they still despise but want to sexually assault)!

Deadmau5 used to stream on twitch about his touring setup video system. He'd sit in his studio and craft wonders in TouchDesigner.
Fascinating to watch

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 weeks ago

I never really followed him, just not my personal style, but I remember seeing clips of those streams. It was seriously impressive. Dude seemed really in his element, and had an awesome setup all around.
